The deterioration of the environmentThe deterioration of the environment is one of the most serious problems now and although many groups and associations have tried to preserve planet green, pollution continues to affect many parts of the world, especially in industrialized countries. The main cause of deterioration is due mainly to the growth of cities and industry development. In recent years, both governments and environmental organizations and scientists seeking solutions to limit human impact on the environment. The signatures of international agreements contribute to the protection of preserving green planet Contamination is reduced by various measures such as the prohibition of using pollutants and the use of clean technologies and water treatment plants. Other alternatives are the use of clean energy or recycling of urban and industrial products. However, the only method to preserve planet green is to make the human species to exploit natural resources without harming the environment ambiente.Y considered the most important thing is mentalizing of damage we are causing to our planet and that together, and between all working together doing our bit for a better world. The atmosphere or environment in which they develop life on the planet, constantly undergoes changes and alterations of various causes or sources. The man with industrial and commercial activities, is causing most of these alterations. That is why it is necessary to employ methods to minimize or avoid these impacts where possible

CONCLUSIONS The incorporation of environmental variables in programs and projects as a useful tool in making decisions, strengthen environmental management, allowing it to be transparent, to achieve an adequate control of environmental factors. Experience shows that not all actions require the development of an environmental impact study. This tool is only required in those cases where it is covered by the Act, as set out in the case of infrastructure and...

Summary
We have finite resources. But world’s population numbered 6.1 billion in 2000 and it is currently increasing at a rate of 77 million per year. By 2025, the estimated total world population will be 7.9 billion. More people means that more consumption. More consumption means that more resources. Again we have finite resources. One of the precious resources is fresh water. Fresh water is key to sustainable development for both economic activity and social role. Without water supply human health fails, food production declines, the natural environment suffers. Freshwater is an important determinant of patterns of economic growth and social development. But due to increasing world population (more consumption), fresh 97water resource is dramatically falling to down. Due to scarcity of fresh water, 500 million people suffering water stress. It will be increase to two-thirds of the world population subjected to moderate to high level water stress in 2025. Also it is very important to improving both quality and quantity of available water supplies. Quality of water supplies effects to human health, with millions of people are dying due to bad quality of water.
It is cannot stopped the falling of resource of fresh water and pollution of water by one country’s...

...human social groups. The author explored four principles: authority, equality, liberty, and utility. Individuals from social groups that subscribe to the principle of equality, utility, and liberty mention human activity as the lead-cause of climate change. These three principles allow independent thinking or perspectives, unlike social groups with authority-based ideologies in which individuals subscribe to the general perspective of the group. From the analysis of Kahan et al.’s data, individuals from groups that subscribe to the principle of authority believe that the natural variation is the main cause. This variation is important in that it indicates the role of culture as the secondary factor in the variation in views about the environment. The cultural theory holds that people can be expected to form perceptions of the risks of climate change that indicate and reinforce the values that they share with others. The public disagreement on climate change comes from the basic conflict between opposing social groups, whose cultural outlook expose its members to form varying perceptions of environmental and technological risks, in general.

I draw the understanding of opposing public opinions about climate change from synthesis of the science comprehension and cultural cognition theses. In this respect, a considerable proportion of the public is observed as lacking the...

...health, millions of people will be living longer, healthier lives than ever before. In these poorest regions of the world an estimated one in five children will not live to see their fifth birthday, primarily because of environment-related diseases. Eleven million children die worldwide annually, equal to the combined populations of Norway and Switzerland, and mostly due to malaria, acute respiratory infections or diarrhoea — illnesses that are largely preventable.
When the environment becomes less valuable or damaged, environmental degradation is said to occur.
There are many forms of environmental degradation. When habitats are destroyed, biodiversity is lost, or natural resources are depleted, the environment is hurt.
Environmental degradation can occur naturally, or through human processes. The largest areas of concern at present are the loss of rain forests, air pollution and smog, ozone depletion, and the destruction of the marine environment.
Pollution is occurring all over the world and poisoning the planet's oceans. Even in remote areas, the effects of marine degradation are obvious.
In some areas, the natural environment has been exposed to hazardous waste. In other places, major disasters such as oil spills have ruined the local environment.
CFCs, or chlorofluorocarbons, are the primary cause of ozone depletion. When industrial processes release these chemicals,...

* Have good communication skills
* Able to interact and convince individuals
* Have good presentation skills
* Good at solving complex problems
* Critical thinking ability
* Work environmentEnvironment consultants have to work from offices and also do field jobs to evaluate pollutions levels. From office they have to research in laboratory settings to test soils and water for pollutions levels. To collect the samples they have to visit various places, like farms, forests and construction sites. They even inspect industries to find out if the workers are exposed to harmful materials.
Environmental Engineer
Environmental engineers use engineering and science principles to design solutions that will help with environmental problems. There are many types of projects that environmental engineers work on, but a few examples include designing plans to reduce pollution, improving recycling efforts, and increasing the efficiency of waste disposal.
Many environmental engineers work for the government, and may work on projects like waste treatment facilities and water supply systems. They also research the environmental impact of proposed construction projects, and help the government develop regulations that protect the environment from industrial mishaps.
Some environmental engineers try to develop new methods that can help minimize the effects of things like global warming, acid rain,...

...killing elephants for their teeth, and other species for their furs disrupt the food chain. For example killing of carnivorous animals would cause increase in the number of herbivores, which would consume more plants. We also depend on plants for food so there can be shortage of vegetable and cereals for us.
We should preserve the earth and respect all its valuable resources. Pollution and climate changes can make earth inhospitable. Our future would not be good without sustainable development.
People take advantage of what nature offers them but they don't care to protect it much. The condition of our environment is becoming worse and worse. People produce a lot of pollution and wastes that destroy our natural environment. Many of us realize that we shouldn't disregard these problems. Let me give you some examples how development and urbanization count against natural environment.
Firstly, carbon dioxide and other waste gases that are given off in large quantities by factories and power stations as well as motor vehicles enhance the greenhouse effect, which has a negative impact on global warming. Carbon dioxide, during the burning process, creates a layer in the atmosphere which stops the heat from escaping into the space. When the heat can't escape it comes back to the earth and causes warming that leads to melting of ice caps and as result of it the sea level may raise and some part of the land such as Japan or...

Environment and Ecology
1.1 INTRODUCTION
‘Environment’ is a term derived from the French word ‘Environner’ that means ‘to surround’. There was a time when environment just meant surroundings. It was used to describe the physical world surrounding us including soil, rocks, water and air. Gradually it was realized that the enormous variety of plants, animals and micro-organisms on this earth, including human beings are an integral part of theenvironment. Hence, to make a sensible definition of environment, it was necessary to include the interactions and inter-relationships of all living organisms with the physical surroundings. Later, it was further recognised that all types of social, cultural and technological activities carried out by human beings also have a profound influence on various components of the environment. Thus various built structures, materials and technological innovations also became a part of the environment. So now all biological (biotic) and non-biological (abiotic) entities surrounding us are included in the term ‘environment’. The impact of technological and economic development on the natural environment may lead to degradation of the social and cultural environment. Thus, environment is to be considered in a broader perspective where the surrounding components as well as their...

...ENVIRONMENT
The term Environment means surroundings. It is considered as a composite term for the conditions in which organisms live. It consists of air, water, food, sunlight which are the basic needs of all living beings and plant life to carry on their life function. It is defined as the sum of all social, economical, biological, physical or chemical factors which constitutes the surroundings of man, who is both the creator and the moulder of hisenvironment.
The environment consists of two factors, biotic and abiotic factors. Example for biotic factors are all living beings. And example for abiotic factors include air, water, sunlight etc.,
Biotic and abiotic factors depend each other in the environment. The factors affecting environment are temperature, light, water, soil and gases present in atmosphere.
Due to urbanization and industrialization our environment lead to contamination, which we call POLLUTION.
Then what is meant by Pollution?
Pollution means change in the physical, chemical or biological aspects of environment which makes it harmful to human and other living organisms.
Pollutions is of five main types depending on the part of environment which is being polluted. Namely,
1. Air pollution
2. Sound pollution
3. Water pollution
4. Soil pollution
5. Radioactive pollution.

... The Environment
Nowadays, environmental issues are becoming more serious and dangerous. Many environmental problems are surrounding people in everyday life, which people don’t know about or they never paid attention for it. Some example for instance, global warming, contamination of land and oceans, and air pollution are such concerns that are effecting our environment. That is why I disagree to the belief that the environment has improved over the past fifty years.
It’s very important for humanity to be more pensive towards the environment that we live in. A better environment can make people feel more joyful and can be more beneficial for their lifestyles. Therefore, it shouldn't be difficult for people to protect the environment and you can do this in many simple ways like Recycling waste, saving electricity, and staying healthy. First, recycling is a main step in protecting the environment, but the important outcome that people should take and accept is the idea of having a cleaner nature. To do so we should teach and aware communities for such problem and let people understand how it can be fixed. For instance, a very basic way to recycle in our everyday life is to separate our trash bins into sections to split different items from each other. The need to recycle is based on the fact that our natural resources are becoming smaller and awareness should be...
